We are inspired by the outdoors, and together with our iconic sports and outdoor brands, we encourage people to enjoy and connect with nature. Our brands were born in the mountains, fields, and courts, which we now share the responsibility of protecting and preserving.

Biodiversity loss and depleting water resources pose risks to all businesses. In 2025, we completed a comprehensive nature impact assessment following the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, including a biodiversity footprint assessment covering the Locate and Evaluate steps of the LEAP approach. This builds on risk assessments for water and biodiversity we have conducted using the WWF Risk Filter Suite since 2023. We continue to use it to monitor nature-related risks across our own sites and Tier 1 suppliers. The biggest drivers of biodiversity loss stemming from our business are climate change, land use change, and pollution — driven primarily by the high use of oil-based synthetic materials across our products.

We acknowledge that the most significant nature impacts occur in the value chain of our products. Nature impacts are driven by raw material sourcing and pollution, including waste generation, at various stages of the value chain. Opportunities for mitigating impact and fostering sustainable business practices arise from efficient and circular material use and cleaner processing methods.

Water

In 2025, total water consumption across our own operations was 23,085 m³. Most water used in our facilities is returned to the source as discharge, with only an estimated 10% consumed through domestic use or evaporation. For 88% of our locations, primarily shared office and retail spaces, water use is estimated based on employee count.

In 2025, 21% of our own sites are located in areas of potentially high water stress. Among our Tier 1 suppliers, 26% face risks related to water scarcity.

Biodiversity

Southeast Asia is a key region in our supply chain and one increasingly affected by extreme weather events. In 2025, 75% of our Tier 1 suppliers are exposed to tropical cyclone risks. Pollution is a significant driver of environmental loss in our upstream value chain regions, with all Tier 1 suppliers located in areas with high or very high pollution levels.

Similar risks are present in some of our own operations — 23% of our sites are in areas where extreme heat is a high or very high risk, and 13% of sites are located near key biodiversity areas. We remain committed to reducing our impact on nature and enforcing our Material Compliance Policy, which helps ensure responsible production practices.

Waste management

We track waste streams from our own operations, including factories, warehouses, offices, and stores, and aim to recycle or reuse 70% of waste by 2030. In 2025, 34% of our total waste was directed to recycling. Total waste generated in 2025 was 17,085 tonnes.

Waste data is collected by type and handling method, primarily through invoices and third-party providers. Where actual data isn’t available, estimates based on site type and employee count are used. In 2025, 57% of the waste data was based on actual figures. All facilities select waste service providers in line with Amer Sports’ supplier requirements and local legislation.
